Charley's Crab Martha's Vineyard Salad

This is my favorite salad ever! I had this when we were at Charley's Crab for our anniversary. It's so good, I was thrilled to find a recipe for it. The dressing is excellent and would be good with any green salad. I didn't have pine nuts or blue cheese when I made this but pecans and gorgonzola were great in this. I don't remember the restaurant salad having pears on it but to me, they're essential!

Whisk dressing ingredients together in a large glass bowl. Pour into a dressing container and refrigerate. Whisk again before serving. (Prepare dressing at least 3 hours before serving, to allow flavors to mingle. It can be made up to a week ahead of time.) For the salad, wash and dry lettuce leaves. Tear lettuce by hand into bite-size pieces. Toss all the lettuce with about 3/4 cup prepared dressing. Place lettuce on chilled salad plates and top with blue cheese, red onion, pine nuts, and pear slices.
6 to 8 servings
